More than three hundred delegates are expected to attend the initial assembly of the Jewish Chautauqua Society which will be held here Nov. 28 to 30. Arrangements have been completed by local committees to entertain the delegates. Three years ago when the General Chautaqua met in Dallas it was deemed advisable to organize a Southwestern chautauqua. The Southwestern Rabbis held a conference and it was the unanimous opinion that such a chautauqua should be organized. Dr. David Lefkovitz, Rabbi of Temple Emanu-El, was elected chairman.
Registration will begin Friday morning, November 28, in the Temple Emanu-El annex. Headquarters have been established at the Jefferson Hotel. Day sessions will be held in the Temple Annex and evening sessions in the Temple auditorium. All sessions will be open to the public.
Among the speakers who will attend are Dr. William Rosenau of Baltimore, chancellor of the Jewish Chautauqua Society; Dr. Felix Levy of Chicago, Rabbi Louis Wolsey of Cleveland, and Miss Jeanette M. Goldberg of Philadelphia.
Officers will be elected and the next meeting place chosen following the adoption of a constitution and by-laws. I. I. Lorch, general chairman, has announced the local committees in charge.
